After the drought, an embarrassment of riches…

After a three-week drought, The Office is coming back gangbusters this Thursday!

  • Jenna Fischer will be appearing on the Today Show, Martha Stewart, and Late Night with Conan. Yep, all on the same day! Get those Tivos programmed.
  • And of course, we get a new episode, “Dwight’s Speech.”

I’m almost vaklempt.

Update, March 2

Sign the petition to supersize the Office season finale!

In Maureen Ryan’s latest article for the Chicago Tribune, she interviews Greg Daniels, executive producer for The Office.

An excerpt:

For the show’s Season 2 finale, “I’d like to get a supersized episode, because it’s a really long script with a lot of good stuff,” Daniels said in a recent phone interview. “So I would like to now address [NBC Universal Television Group CEO] Jeff Zucker through the Chicago newspapers and say, ‘Please give us extra time.’”

A grass roots movement was then born.

Please sign the petition at www.supersizedoffice.com and let your voice be heard on this important national issue! An extra 30 minutes is at stake. (That’s what she said.)
